Is there any reason why you will back to 4.6.5 for 64bit?

I have built 64bit binay using cvs source on native windows 7 64bit and upload on my web.

The flaw you mentioned does not appear for wgnuplot for cvs version (5.0rc-1).

For 4.6, the patch is needed for 64 bit build for windows.
Is the patch shown the below enough for 64bit build of 4.6.5?

I will try to build if I will find time.

Please wait a while.
